LBC Chit Chat #20

[thewittowoo]

Context Redvers. If you look at the tweet before that he was discussing waiting all day for the announcement. It was not an endorsement of the interruption just what a sad sight it was.

It's something that seriously pisses me off. I hate Steve Bray and his antics. He's just an attention seeking twit.

The twit Bray was taken to court but was acquitted because the magistrate agreed that he had a reasonable excuse under Articles 10 and 11 of the ECHR. The tyranny of the minorities trumping the rights of the majority, that's the UK today

Was driving round this morning and put LBC on. O'Brien thought it reasonable to play a call from a brexit supporter who rang in back in 2018. I don't suppose he considered for a second how the caller being humiliated on air would feel about it 8 years later. He has no idea what the chap is up to these days, he could be dead, he could be seriously ill or suffering mentally, but O'Brien played it for the clicks. Just callous.

I heard that O Brien's wife's father is the boss of global and that's why he will always have a job.

I agree. He's a nasty little piece of work. Anything for attention and approval. Mockery on his own terms.

I'm not sure about that. His wife is Lucy McDonald and she is a psychotherapist. Global has always been run by the Tabor's with senior roles to Tom Cheal and James Rea. I've never heard that about O'Brien's wife in all the years I've been listening to LBC tbh.

O'Gammon is a nasty b, the classic can give but can't take it type

Hi Fenella

I have just double checked and on his timeline that was his first tweet of the day. Any others were from the day before.

I agree with you about Steve Bray though.

The psychotherapist thing is fairly recent. She worked in journalism and broadcasting for years. I can remember her turning up on Jobby's Saturday morning show, many years ago. She also had a cookery show called Crumbs, with her sister, on Youtube.

Much grinding of teeth in a gated property in Brentford. TRIC Awards (used to be the Sony's): best TV news programme - GB News, and best Speech Radio presenter - Nick Ferrari. I wonder if Jobby will congratulate him when they hand over.

A psychotherapist married to James O'Brien will be learning more about her job every day!

 

[neroli]

She is an example of a former journo now self-styled "psychotherapist" peddling herself as a wellbeing champion and promoting the idea of mental illness to gain clients experiencing low mood in their lives.

GB News?? I suppose it's superb if you're pro-Farage and Tice bur seriously?

Onboard the 'wellness' and 'wellbeing' gaslighting grift. Surely this hasn't got much longer to run ? "I'm unhappy ... so obviously everyone else is unhappy too and if you aren't unhappy, why aren't you unhappy? Let's be unhappy together while you pay me to make you happy again, even though I'm not happy myself".

I remember that. Beetroot brownies and the like.

Yes, she has reinvented herself a couple of times. I can imagine lots of handwringing and faux despair mixed in with lots of self congratulatory back slapping going on in that house ... all washed down with champagne of course.

She still owns 50% of Scrambler Media Ltd, ideal for a bit of spousal tax avoidance

 

[thewittowoo]

He's bemoaning the fact that Kemi Badenoch didn't treat PMQ's as a chance to say a fond farewell to the human bollard. Coming from a man who's never displayed a shred of decency to anyone disagreeing with him (tbf he may have mentioned David Amess once on the day he was murdered by an Islamic extremist but not since) is another display of his sickening hypocrisy

Fenella has already mentioned the Beetroot Brownies which apparently all the family loved.

But for those new on here we used to have an ursine friend on the dark side who regularly made these points about Crumbs.

1. Hygiene especially concerning the state of her tea towels,

2. The inconsistency between her promotion of sugar filled treats whilst her husband railed against such things on his radio show.

 

[thewittowoo]

Bridget Philipson just been on Marr complaining about Badenoch criticising her and using words like 'gestapo' saying such comparisons have no place in reasonable political discourse. Of course it doesn't

The Lammster has kept a low profile during the second coming of the future (he hopes) PM. Perhaps he's hoping to remain in the Cabinet of whoever gets the job.

 

[neroli]

I can't imagine what job Burnham could possibly find for Calammity David? Maybe he could be Minister for Misspeaks, a new post to which he would be well suited.

 

[neroli]

I wouldn't like to have Kemi Badenoch as my boss..There's something I really dislike about her as she seeks to be "Strong, resilient and hard hitting" but really comes across as a patronising bully trying to be clever but failing.

Sorry, Maggie..I think she needs to be respected through her assertiveness not disliked due to aggressive rudeness.
